Sign up Sign in Yu Darvish throws a pitch during a Spring Training practice.Padres’ manager Mike Shildt opened Monday morning’s media briefing with an update on pitching prospect Cole Paplham, who was struck in the face by a line drive during Sunday’s game against the Dodgers. “Our thoughts and prayers are with him,” Shildt started. “The good news is he’s stable. He spent some time in the emergency room, as you’d expect. He did get the imaging. There are fractures. He stayed alert. They are working through all the concussion protocols. But he is alert. “They are trying to figure out some further testing … what the steps are. I texted with him this morning. As you’d expect, he didn’t get a great night’s sleep. But the pain has subsided a little bit. He’s in good spirits. And, again, he was able to stay conscious and alert and aware of his circumstances. “We look at more of it medically moving forward. He’s got a road ahead of him. But he looks like it’s not anything that is really, really serious. He was able to get released last night and was able to get home and sleep in his own bed.” Shildt said Fernando Tatis Jr. is still battling the flu. “He’s battling whatever is going around,” said Shildt. “It’s been though our camp a little bit. A good part is on the good side of it. He’s just going to require a little more recovery.” Shildt on the regulars playing back-to-back games: “We’re not necessarily there. Manny (Machado) might go back out as the designated hitter. But we’re not in back-to-back mode this early in camp. Other guys are on different plans. Established players have their own schedules about what they need to get ready for the season. There will be guys getting on the back-to-back plan earlier than others.” Shildt on Yu Darvish’s program: “It’s similar to what we saw with Dylan Cease the other day. Most established big league pitchers work on some things on back fields. It can be personal preference. In general, the thought process is the first couple of times out it’s a controlled environment and they’ll be able to work on a few things before you get into the stadium competition. I don’t know about Dylan, but Darvish could advance from a simulated game to a ‘B’ game.” Shildt said the schedule of this spring training helps with veteran pitchers working on things early when compared to last spring when the Padres faced a compacted schedule while preparing for their trip to Korea. “The ability now to have a camp rather than a sprint mode is conducive and hopefully we’re going to maintain it,” said Shildt. “The volume of days, 39 days in camp for pitchers and catchers, is a little longer progression.” Shildt said he has “multiple choices” for an Opening Day starting pitcher and is not ready to make that decision. “It’s a hard decision to make, but it’s good to have that hard decision,” said Shildt. “Everything is on the table.” Shildt said it is still “to early to handicap” the competition for the №5 spot in the rotation. “Kyle Hart got here and acclimated through his first live bullpen the other day,” said Shildt. “(Randy) Vásquez is out there today. (Matt) Waldron had a nice start to his spring a couple days ago with two innings. (Jhony) Brito had an inning. We’re still stretching him out a little bit. They’re all doing well.” Shildt on Vásquez’s improvement during last season: “Randy’s the poster child, especially on the pitching staff, of someone who got better during the season,” said Shildt. “He started out in our bullpen in Korea, then went back down. It was a hard decision. “The organization decided he needed to go start. He went out, came up and helped us. He went back down and worked on things. The credit goes to Randy. He came back up as a better version of himself. You don’t see that at times day-to-day. But when he went down and came back … ‘he’s better with the running game … with the execution of that pitch … whatever the combinations of those things are. “and at the end of the year, we saw a very poised, complete guy who looks like a Major League starter.” Help Yep came into the month of March ranked 22nd all-time in the 200 breast He exits it as the third-fastest swimmer ever and an NCAA

Columbus While initial X-rays were negative for a fracture the 23-year-old Brito continued to report symptoms Following additional consultations with team physicians and hand specialist Dr “From the little bit I've seen of Juan you see the potential of a power hitter that can also hit for average and played pretty good defense,” Vogt said Brito will report to the Guardians’ complex in Goodyear in

take-it-in-stride person He plays with emotion but doesn’t flaunt any of the above or seek admiration the first in Keene State’s time in Division III When Octavio got a knock on the door of his Lincoln The award was announced Thursday by the presenting body the National Association of Basketball Coaches Octavio is the 39th recipient in the 42 years the award has been given; three players were back-to-back awardees The 6-foot-4-inch swingman who finished his playing career second in scoring with 2,206 points and whose name is scattered about the pages of the program’s record book This resume-topping award won’t hurt his prospects of finding his way onto an international roster His game grew more well-rounded and consistent with each season as an Owl the proof visible in his long game-by-game stat lines noting points There were many moments during his career when he seemed like a Cadillac amid economy sedans his three-point shot smooth as sorbet and without range his straight-line drives graceful yet penetrating In a second-round NCAA Tournament win over Eastern University at home his junior season scoring a then-career-high 40 points to help send the Owls to the Sweet 16 for a second straight season it was the most points scored by an Owl player in a game in more than five years and his eight three-pointers were the most in a contest in more than 15 years He then scored 42 in a home game this season against UMass-Boston A strong case can be made that Octavio and Jeff Hunter formed the most potent 1-2 punch in the history of the Little East Conference Playing alongside Octavio for the program’s incredible run these past four seasons and record four straight LEC regular-season titles were three other unforgettable standouts – Mason Jean Baptiste the four combined for 5,344 career points and a 98-19 record Baptiste and Siow would etch their names on the 1,000 career points list before they turned in their uniforms and Aronson was a sharpshooter extraordinaire who delivered Octavio tested the transfer portal waters after his junior year as he readied for what would be his third coach in four seasons as an Owl He drew interest but stayed at Keene State where so much of his legacy was already cemented He was named LEC Player of the Year this season and garnered his third straight All-America First Team recognition earlier this week the sixth Owl to earn the honor but the first to achieve it three times 4 in the d3hoops.com national polls and lived in the Top 25 for 33 straight weeks at one point who had a front-row seat to Octavio’s hardwood artistry for just one season described his centerpiece player as “the heart and soul of Keene State basketball throughout his career and the ultimate teammate and winner.” Octavio was a quick study and an entertaining player from the start the coach at Keene State for Octavio’s first two seasons remembers the challenge of assessing Octavio’s “ceiling” and how his talents might translate in the Owls’ program That evaluation had to be made during COVID-19 when high school games were streamed and attendance restricted Cain and his staff still saw enough to understand that Octavio was a scholarship-level talent even in what then was a not-so-normal recruiting cycle Cain and then-assistant coach David Hastings met with Octavio ahead of his freshman season to tell him the only thing that would restrict his opportunity to play as a freshman was how hard and consistently he was willing to compete Octavio had a wonderful first year wearing red and white Cain said Octavio “competed as hard and consistently as any player I’ve ever coached.” and upset Swarthmore in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Octavio guarded the All-Americans on those teams – Marcus Azor and Vinny DeAngelo – and the game plan in both contests was for Octavio to guard both without help The program at the time did not feature formal captains but the coaching staff agreed that the team needed player-driven leadership and named Jeff Hunter Perhaps Keene State President Melinda Treadwell said it best when she wrote today about Octavio’s national award: He has brought great recognition to Keene State during his tenure here and the coaches have been exceptional collaborators All of us are on our feet and cheering Octavio on as he inspires Division III student-athletes everywhere.” All

significant contributions to the pride and spirit of our community Over four years the greater Keene community has fallen in love with a talented student from Rhode Island We have watched him mature into a remarkably talented basketball player recently recognized as the outstanding basketball player of the year in Division III which includes over 400 colleges and universities Octavio Brito’s exceptional athletic ability and dedication throughout his Keene State College basketball career has led to remarkable individual milestones and his team’s historic success Octavio’s 2,206 career

leadership and talent raised the level of Keene State’s basketball performance to dominate the Little East Conference over the four years in which he played and the hosting of NCAA Division III tournament rounds bringing national attention to Keene State College and the City of Keene Entering the game Sunday, April 13, Arias was hitting .286 with an .878 OPS seven RBIs and four walks in 48 plate appearances He played a key role in a few games during the Guardians' five-game winning streak This is a really fun Gabby Arias to watch." it's something for which the Guardians have been waiting after three years of inconsistency They've always loved Arias' defense — both in terms of skill and versatility — but the bat never followed suit Perhaps the sign the Guardians like the most is that all three of Arias' home runs have been to the opposite field displaying a level of power they knew was locked in there somewhere "He's got the juice to hit the ball out anywhere in the park," Vogt said So I think Gabby's best bullet is that way but obviously we know the power he has to the pull side The Guardians have long been an organization that can ill afford to give up too early on certain players that might be considered projects or still in the development stage (Jake Bauers was a similar scenario) That might have played a role in opening the season with Gabriel Arias and Daniel Schneemann handling second base Even with the Guardians wanting to operate with longer leashes for young major league players Brito might force his way to the majors soon especially with Bazzana potentially not too far behind The Guardians could get creative if Brayan Rocchio were to struggle though that'd likely have to be an extreme case to option him to Triple-A and move Arias over to shortstop perhaps Arias is doing enough to hold down second base (along with Schneemann receiving some at-bats) But he'll have to turn a small sample size into some consistent success to do so with how Brito and Bazzana are tearing through the minors CLEVELAND -- Guardians infield prospect Juan Brito could miss three months after undergoing surgery Friday to repair a ligament in his right thumb who competed for Cleveland's starting second baseman's job this spring got hurt while sliding into third base for Triple-A Columbus on April 17 who recommended surgery for a high-grade sprain The team said Brito underwent the procedure at Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute While there is no definitive timetable on Brito's return the Guardians said he could be restricted from game activities from eight to 12 weeks He'll report to the team's training complex in Goodyear is regarded as one of the top prospects in Cleveland's system He was batting .291 with two homers and 10 RBIs for the Clippers "We had him starting to play a little right field just to get some defensive versatility and try and get the bat in the order," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said you see potential of a power hitter that can also hit for average and play pretty good defense The Guardians acquired Brito from Colorado in November 2022 in the trade for outfielder Nolan Jones, who returned to Cleveland in a deal before this season. Last year, Brito batted .256 at Columbus with 21 homers, 40 doubles and 84 RBIs in 144 games. Notifications can be managed in browser preferences.
